    Key Features of Jet A1

  • Wide Availability: Jet A1 is the most commonly used jet fuel outside of the United States, where its specification has been universally adopted.
  • High Safety Standards: With a high flash point of over 38°C, Jet A1 is less volatile and safer to handle than alternatives like Jet B, especially in warmer climates. Its freeze point of -47°C ensures reliable performance in cold conditions.
  • Long-Range Performance: Its formulation supports the operation of large commercial aircraft and long-haul flights, providing excellent fuel efficiency and performance stability
  • Environmental Considerations: Jet A1’s low sulphur content contributes to reducing environmental impact compared to other fuels. It is formulated to meet stringent emissions standards in international aviation markets.

    AVGAS 100LL aviation gasoline

    image

    Specially designed for aircraft with spark-ignition piston engines, AVGAS 100LL is a blue aviation gasoline with a high-octane number. The octane number measures the fuel’s ability to resist compression without detonating, which is the most important property for this kind of fuel. In general aviation, engines are exposed to very different pressures from automotive or ship engines. So, they have been designed to use fuels with high octane ratings, such as AVGAS 100LL, where 100 is the aviation lean rating, and LL stands for low lead.
